wxruby users - Nov 2009 - Wx::GridCellChoiceEditor get selected string

Hi,

  I''m using a Wx::GridCellChoiceEditor within a Wx:grid. I have it
displaying as it should, but I now need to do something when a user
selects a string. The only likely looking event I can find is
evt_grid_cell_change. evt_grid_cell_change is calling the method I
defined when I click off the choice box, assuming the choice changed.
This is fine.

    What I need to do, is get the newly selected item (or preferably
some client data asssociated with it) how do I do that? I can''t see any
likley methods, and inspecting the generated event is useless....

    I currently have:

    # Set up the event
    evt_grid_cell_change {|event| cell_change(event)}

    #Set up the rows, there is more to this, but it''s just putting
values in cells...
    @characters.each do |char|
        weapons = Wx::GridCellChoiceEditor.new(char.weapons_list)
        @grid.insert_rows
        @grid.set_cell_editor(0,1,weapons)
    end

    #The method run when the selection changes
    def cell_change(event)
      row = event.get_row
      character = Character.find_by_name(@grid.get_cell_value(row,0))
      character.held_weapon = ???
    end
   
    What do I need to put in the ??? . As I said, ??? should ideally be
the string selected, or some data associated with it....

Thanks

Anthony

I re-read my email when it hit the list. I noticed a bit of code on the
line above where I was asking about, and thought, I wonder....

Turns out I was seriously over thinking it....

def cell_change(event)
      row = event.get_row
      character = Character.find_by_name(@grid.get_cell_value(row,0))
      character.held_weapon = @grid.get_cell_value(row,1)
end

Does the trick quite nicely. Doh.
